Abstract
ANTERIOR TEMPORAL lobectomy (ATL) is an effective treatment for medically intractable seizures that originate in the temporal lobe.1 Surgical success depends on the selection of candidates with discrete and identifiable epileptogenic foci.2,3 Removal of such a focus will theoretically result in seizure-free status.4Keywords
